[0036] Here, the technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0037] If there are terms involving directional indications or positional relationships in the embodiments of the present disclosure (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings); if the specific posture changes, the directional indication or positional relationship will also change accordingly. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only used for the purpose of convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] At present, cars, sports utility vehicles (SUV), multi-purpose vehicles, off-road vehicles, buses, RVs and other vehicles bring many conveniences to people's lives, work, and study, and occupy an important position in people's travel lives. However, there are many types and brands of vehicles, which makes consumers have many choices. How to win the favor of consumers and improve product competitiveness has become an issue that vehicle manufacturers pay more and more attention to.

[0039] In the related art, the battery in the vehicle plays a vital role in the process of using the vehicle. However, many components in the vehicle are connected to the battery through the same wiring harness, which will lead to greater safety hazards.

[0040] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a battery device 100 and a vehicle 1, wherein the battery device 100 can be connected to components of the vehicle 1 through a plurality of terminals 131, thereby avoiding the connection of components to the battery through the same wiring harness, thereby causing safety hazards. At the same time, the safety of the vehicle 1 using the battery device 100 is also improved.

[0041] In order to better understand the battery device 100 of the present disclosure, the vehicle 1 to which the battery device 100 is applied will be described.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle 1 includes an engine, a starter, and a battery device 100. The engine, as the power source of the vehicle 1, converts fuel into driving force by burning fuel to propel the vehicle 1 forward. The starter is an electric motor responsible for starting the engine. It uses the electric energy provided by the battery device 100 to convert the electric energy into mechanical energy through a brief meshing of the gears with the engine flywheel, and quickly rotates the engine crankshaft until the engine starts to run on its own. The battery is responsible for storing electric energy and supplying power to the electrical equipment of the vehicle 1 when the engine is not running, including the current required to start the engine, and supplying power to the lighting, dashboard, audio and other electronic equipment in the vehicle. It is also charged through the generator after the engine is running to ensure that the vehicle 1 has the ability to start at any time and maintain the normal operation of the electronic equipment in the vehicle.

[0043] In the related art, all electrical appliances share a negative circuit harness connected to the battery, which increases the starting resistance of the starter motor, especially at low temperatures. When charging or pumping the battery with an external power source, the external power line is directly clamped at the negative end of the battery, which is also not conducive to the battery manager's energy management and monitoring of the battery. Therefore, it is urgent to solve the above problems.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the battery device 100 includes a battery body 110, a battery manager 120, and a conductive component 130, wherein the battery body 110 includes an electrode 111. The battery manager 120 includes a first connector 121 and a second connector 122 electrically connected to the first connector 121, and the first connector 121 is electrically connected to the electrode 111. The conductive component 130 is electrically connected to the second connector 122. The conductive component 130 includes a plurality of terminals 131, and the battery device 100 is connected to the outside through the plurality of terminals 131.

[0045] In this way, when the battery device 100 is working, the first connector 121 of the battery manager 120 is electrically connected to the electrode 111 of the battery body 110, so that the battery manager 120 can monitor the key parameters of the battery body 110, such as voltage, current, and temperature, to ensure that the battery device 100 operates within a safe and efficient working range. The second connector 122 is electrically connected to the first connector 121, and the conductive component 130 is electrically connected to the second connector 122, so that the current output by the battery body 110 flows to the conductive component 130 after passing through the battery manager 120. The current output by the battery body 110 needs to pass through the battery manager 120, so that the battery manager 120 can better monitor the battery body 110. Similarly, when the battery device 100 is charged, the current of the external power supply will pass through the current manager 120 and then enter the battery body 110 for charging, so that the battery manager 120 can better monitor the charging of the battery body 110. A plurality of spaced-apart terminals 131 are provided on the conductive component 130, and the battery device 100 is connected to the outside by using the plurality of terminals 131, respectively, so as to avoid the battery device 100 and external components being connected by the same wiring harness, which may cause safety hazards. The conductive component 130 may also function as a bus. Furthermore, if the battery device 100 and external components are connected by the same wiring harness, the resistance of the circuit will be increased, resulting in energy loss. In addition, when the battery device is pumping electricity, using a separate terminal can further improve the safety of pumping electricity.

[0046] It should be noted that the battery body 110 can have various specifications, including 12V batteries, 24V batteries, etc. Specifically, in some embodiments, the battery body 110 is a 12V battery. Since 12V is a safe extra-low voltage, direct contact with the human body will not cause the risk of electric shock. Therefore, the conductive component 130 does not need to be treated with insulation protection, reducing the complexity of the overall structure.

[0047] It should be noted that there are many specific implementation methods for the material of the conductive component 130, including copper, silver, aluminum, copper alloy, aluminum alloy, and the like.

[0048] Specifically, in some embodiments, the conductive component 130 is made of alloy copper, wherein the copper content in the alloy copper is ≥ 97%, which is beneficial to reducing line resistance and improving current stability.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the conductive component 130 is an integrally formed structure, thereby reducing assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency of the battery device 100 .

[0050] Of course, in other embodiments, the conductive component 130 may also be manufactured in parts and then assembled.

[0051] It should be noted that there are many specific ways to implement the electrical connection, including direct contact connection, welding, terminal connection, crimping connection, etc.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the plurality of terminals 131 include a first terminal 1311, a second terminal 1312, and a third terminal 1313. The first terminal 1311 is connected to the starter of the vehicle 1. The second terminal 1312 can be used for grounding. The third terminal 1313 can be used for charging and discharging of the battery device 100. In this way, the first terminal 1311 is connected to the starter of the vehicle 1, so that the power supply device can supply power to the starter through the first terminal 1311. The second terminal 1312 is used for grounding to ensure safety. The third terminal 1313 is used to connect the charging and discharging of the battery device 100 to ensure the charging and discharging of the battery device 100.

[0053] It is understandable that the number of the terminals 131 in the battery device 100 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0054] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the electrode 111 includes a negative electrode 1111, and the first connector 121 is electrically connected to the negative electrode 1111. In this way, since the potential of the negative electrode 1111 is lower than that of the positive electrode 1112, connecting the battery manager 120 to the negative electrode 1111 through the first connector 121 can improve the overall safety and stability of the battery device 100. The battery manager 120 connected to the negative electrode 1111 can directly measure the negative electrode voltage of the battery body 110, which can provide accurate battery status monitoring and management. And it can reduce the complexity of connection and wiring.

[0055] Of course, in some other embodiments, the electrode 111 further includes a positive electrode 1112 , and the first connecting member 121 is electrically connected to the positive electrode 1112 .

[0056] like Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the conductive component 130 is provided with a mounting groove 132, and the second connector 122 is installed in the mounting groove 132 and electrically connected to the conductive component 130. When the conductive component 130 is connected to the battery manager 120, the second connector 122 of the battery manager 120 is installed in the mounting groove 132, so that the battery manager 120 is electrically connected to the conductive component 130. In addition, the cooperation between the second connector 122 and the mounting groove 132 can also play a role of limiting, so as to prevent the conductive component 130 and the battery manager 120 from moving relative to each other, thereby preventing the overall structure of the battery device 100 from being unstable.

[0057] In some embodiments, the battery device 100 further includes a fastener (not shown), and when the second connector 122 is installed in the mounting groove 132, the fastener is tightly matched with the second connector 122 to fix the conductive component 130 and the battery manager 120. In this way, the fastener is tightly matched with the second connector 122 when the second connector is installed in the mounting groove 132, so as to further fix the conductive component 130 and the battery manager 120, and further ensure the reliability of the overall structure of the battery device 100.

[0058] It should be noted that there may be many specific implementation methods for fastening the fastener and the second connecting member 122, including screw fastening, snap fastening, etc.

[0059] In some embodiments, one of the conductive component 130 and the battery manager 120 is provided with a snap protrusion (not shown), and the other is provided with a snap groove (not shown). The snap protrusion and the snap groove are snapped and fixed, so that the conductive component 130 is fixedly connected to the battery manager 120. In this way, the conductive component 130 and the battery manager 120 are fixedly connected by snapping, which facilitates the installation and removal of the conductive component 130 and the battery manager 120, and can improve the user experience.

[0060] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the conductive component 130 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 133, and the battery manager 120 is provided with a plurality of limiting portions 123 corresponding to the plurality of limiting grooves 133. The conductive component 130 cooperates with the limiting portions 123 to be relatively fixed to the battery manager 120. In this way, when the conductive component 130 is connected to the battery manager 120, the cooperation between the limiting grooves 133 and the limiting portions 123 can play a role of pre-positioning, and when the conductive component 130 is fastened to the battery manager 120, the cooperation between the limiting grooves 133 and the limiting portions 123 can prevent the conductive component 130 from rotating relative to the battery manager 120.

[0061] like Figure 7 as well as Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the first connector 121 includes a locking portion 1211 and a mounting portion 1212 capable of cooperating with the electrode 111. The locking portion 1211 is connected to the mounting portion 1212, and the first connector 121 can be adjusted to fix the mounting portion 1212 with the electrode 111. In this way, the battery manager 120 is matched with the electrode 111 of the battery body 110 through the mounting portion 1212. When the matching is in place, the mounting portion 1212 is fixedly connected to the motor by adjusting the locking portion 1211, thereby fixing the battery manager 120 with the battery body 110.

[0062] Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting member 121 and the electrode 111 may also be fixedly connected by snap-fitting, which is convenient for installation and disassembly and can improve the user experience.

[0063] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present disclosure, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the utility model concept of the present disclosure, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
